38 Lyford Road London Wandsworth SW18 3LS

Awaiting decision Wandsworth 2025/4497 Works to a T.P.O. Tree

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Front Garden G1 - 1x Ash & 1x Cherry Fell as close to ground level as possible. Apply systemic herbicide to stump to prevent re-growth. G1 is located in the front garden, see map attached. The tree is of poor shape and form and is of little amenity value. The long-term future for the tree is questionable due to poor previous pruning. Rear Garden G2 - 1x Birch & 1x Magnolia Fell as close to ground level as possible. Apply systemic herbicide to stump to prevent re-growth. G2 is located in the back garden, see map attached. The tree is of poor shape and form and is of little amenity value. There are several other desirable and dominant trees of better shape and form within close proximity to the subject tree. G3 - 1x Bay & 1x Magnolia Crown reduce by removing up to 1.5 metres in branch length G3 is located in the back garden, see map attached. The works are part of a regular maintenance programme to retain the tree at a suitable size for their location. The proposed works would not reduce the amenity value of the tree and will allow sustainable tree management in the long term. T4 - Cherry Fell as close to ground level as possible. Apply systemic herbicide to stump to prevent re-growth. T4 is located in the back garden, see map attached. The tree is of poor shape and form and is of little amenity value. There are several other desirable and dominant trees of better shape and form within close proximity to the subject tree. T5 - Holly Fell as close to ground level as possible.

ALL ITEMS INCLUDING REMOVING ARISING DEBRIS, LEAVING SITE CLEAN AND TIDY. T6 is located in the back garden, see map attached. The works are part of a regular maintenance programme to retain the tree at a suitable size for their location. The proposed works would not reduce the amenity value of the tree and will allow sustainable tree management in the long

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Wandsworth for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
